Deer Fly Portrait

I spent some time imaging insect portraits in the Washington Ditch parking lot of Great Dismal Swamp in Suffolk, Virginia, USA. This Deer Fly paused long enough on the car to allow me this image. This is a 2.8:1, at the sensor, macro. For this image, I used my manual focus Tamron Adaptall-2 Model 52BB SP 90mm f2.5 Macro Lens and Tamron Adaptall-2 18f 1:1 Tube and Tamron Adaptall-2 140f 1.4X Flat Field Teleconverter and Tamron Adaptall-2 01f 2X Flat Field Teleconverter with attached Tamron Adaptall-2 Pentax K A Mount, all mounted to Pentax K20D Camera, hand held, manually focused by moving the entire assembly back and forth, Shake Reduction set to 200mm, ISO 800, f5.6 on lens, 1/60 sec, with fill-in flash from camera's built-in electronic flash. This is a Full Resolution Large JPEG and is Straight Out Of Camera (SOOC) and is without any post processing, editing, adjustment, cropping, or re-sizing.

Wow, that was an impressive array of gear: the photo justifies the effort when you see that eye detail. Seen in www.ipernity.com/group/prime-lenses.
